#2026/519Consequential changes to English devolution and combined authority rules
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
These regulations clean up and adjust existing local government rules after the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026. They amend orders and regulations for combined authorities, including Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and Devon and Torbay, and remove provisions that are now replaced, unnecessary, or handled under the new devolution framework. The practical impact is mainly administrative. Combined authorities, mayors, local councils, transport bodies, and adult education administrators may need to update references, governance documents, and internal processes to reflect the revised legal powers and removed functions.
